Doctor Who fans have shared their delight after the Time Lord regenerated into a woman for the first time ever - with actress Jodie Whittaker keeping her Yorkshire accent for the role. Tonight's Christmas special Twice Upon A Time marked the exit of both leading star Peter Capaldi and showrunner Steven Moffat. But the hour-long episode also heralded a new beginning for the long-running BBC sci-fi series as it welcomed the first female Doctor ever.

Deep down inside.
I liked Rose
Did you know she was also black (She occasionally mentioned that as well - and John Kerry served in Vietnam, too)
I'd cross the pond for Pond.
Always had a fascination with red heads. Don't know why.
Well its a mystery! I hugged one today LOL

Long-time SF fan, but never got into Dr. Who. My daughter watched this episode at the place we were staying for Christmas, so I saw it. Not impressed.
Now switched interest from “Dr Who” to “Black”, a Korean show in Korean with subtitles. For acting, plot twists, and general writing it beat most shows hands down.
Korean sounds a bit like Japanese, mixed with Chinese, while some one is getting violently ill.
The show concerns a pretty gal who was born with the ability to see another person’s death. She meets a detective who turns out to be her childhood love. He works with a group of police in a backup unit of questionable abilities (screw ups).
He detective is killed by a mysterious murderer. When he dies, his body is taken over by a Grim Reaper. The Reaper must locate his assistant who has fled into someone else’s body or face extreme punishment.
There is a problem ... the girl loves the man who is now a Reaper, but she does not know that. Reapers are assigned humans to follow until they die, and then escort the dead to the ‘upper level’ or somewhere else.
The whole of all the twisting interactions revolve around catching a murdered, perhaps the same one who killed the detective, perhaps not.
There are 18 shows, each about 1.5 hours.
The show is streamed from numerous sites: Here’s one: http://newasiantv.io/
Rose went on to play an expensive sex worker in a short lived BBC drama ...
I was half expecting, when the lesbian companion returned, that she would have an affair with the female Doctor.
For most of the post-2005 series, there has been strong sexual tension between the Doctor and his female companions. This ended when Matt Smith was replaced by Capaldi, since it would have been politically incorrect for 20-something Clara to love a man 30 years her senior.
They deferred the issue by having the next companion be lesbian, and now the Doctor be a woman. BBC does not want an Alpha male doctor who women swoon over.

Well, I guess there aren't enough real English people left to roll over in their graves, so I guess they get what they deserve. My apologies to any real English who still live there...there has to be some.
And now, I don't even want to say jokingly "The next 007 will probably be homosexual/transgender/muslim/whatever..."
